He wants out for a reputed £400m, so if he's overvaluing it that to me suggests that he's happy enough to stay in situ other than for an offer too good to turn down.
Imagine this was a one of his shops and the manager came to him and said "Mike, the light is broke in the toilet, one of the windows is cracked, and there was a dirty protest in the changing rooms, can we have some money to repair it?" And Ashley says "why would I give you money to repair it? Sign a contract so I can retain your services for a further three years, then I might think about improving things"
"But Mike, it's your shop, I'm just trying to run it well for you, and leave it so it makes money for you long after I'm gone"
It's all irrelevant man.
He's not going to spend, end of story.
If he doesn't really want to sell he won't, you've been protesting for years and he just laughs in your face.
He owns your club lock, stock & 2 smoking phone boxes, moaning on here won't alter that one bit.
